I would say to call it Onziclopedie or an easier name. It is the old name of the Oncyclopedia, and, African and Oncyclopedia, mwa, in style it doesn't combine very well. Also it is a bit double with the original Oncyclopedia. Roye7777777 23:17, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

No, it would be either Onsiklopedie or Onziklopedie, no c. That is just an African spelling mistake. Write on! Lars - Dutch Chief Translator - The Workshop | 19:23, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Name rejected. Agree with Lars. Perhaps something like "NiepediaNie". Niesiklopedia would be perfect | CartoonistHenning 09:52, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

[1] (but for now, called Uncyclopedia Wiki, because of Wikia automatically appending the word "Wiki" to the end of wiki names. ~ 121.214.94.227

I did not expect this Wikia villainy, but because the wiki is abandoned and no connection to his partner, consider this petition is filed and approved under our guidance for the satisfaction Uncyclomedia. Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 14:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

The Kamelopedia is not really on Plattdüütsch (Plattdeutsch, a north German dialect), but on standard German. I came up with the idea of Plattdüütsch because the Stupidedia (German as well) is enlisted as the "Boarisch" (Bavarian) version of Uncyclopedia, because there also is a German "Uncyclopedia". So Kamelopedia would be the third German wiki to be an official language version of Uncyclopedia. I think it is relevant because it has got more articles than the German "Uncyclopedia" an nearly as much as the "Stupidedia". I chose the north German dialect Plattdüütsch because it's a running gag on Kamelopedia that everything happens in Norddeutschland (North Germany), for example we use the Norddeutsche Normalzeit (North German Standard Time). I'm a bureaucrat on Kamelopedia and would be happy if you added us as a language version.

We are an independent wiki. As we had introduced the Interwiki-connection to Uncyclopedia, we linked the other wikis in our articles, but they didn't do so to us. And if they linked us, our wiki was linked as the "Boarisch" wiki, as it is linked on your wiki. But we are a German wiki, like the German Uncyclopedia (just better wink.gif ), not a Bavarian one. But the guys from Uncyclopedia didn't answer to us and so we removed the links after half a year.

Er, I'm sorry, but I did not really understand your last post. Could you perhaps talk in English? Google Translator is very easy to understand wink.gif

So, I'd say, you can remove the links to our wiki on yours, because the interwiki-project seems to be stopped on our side.--Metallica-FanDiskussionsseite

Neutral:There is a problem with this, when asked to join the stupidedia Uncyclomedia she asked the interlink used in de.uncyclopedia, although it has decided to interlink bar. I fear that this may give the same problem in the future when I or others want to enter interlinks with Kamelopedia not know if it is of Germanic dialect or the language version is estandar.

Moreover, in addition to include a series of twists and turns between users in many communities the history of conflicts between rival wikis the same language in unmet prevents me from actively participating here.

Therefore, I will not vote against because it is a requirement, not a vote, however keep my position of strict neutrality while waiting for the end of this story. Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 00:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether I understood your post completely. I think it's clear that there is a certain “rivalry” between humorous wikis in the same language, and so there is one between the German Stupidedia, Kamelopedia and Uncyclopedia. But normally this is no serious conflict, so we may spoof each other, but don't disturb someone's work.

I don't know anything about the history of the partnership between Uncyclomedia and Stupidedia, and I don't know who invented the idea of "Boarisch", but I like the idea that we link to each other. Kamelopedia would be happy with "Plattdüütsch", as far as I heard from other users there. And as a reader or user of a satirical wiki like Uncyclopedia you have to expect such jokes and i wouldn't see them as a problem. --Kronf(talk) 11:55, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kronf! Nice that you discovered us. Your request is only not very clear to me: do you want to have your own domain kamelopedia.org? Do you want to move your wiki to Uncyclomedia? Or you just want us to have your wiki enlisted under the interwiki "nds"? CartoonistHenning(talk) 15:43, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

You already discoverd us, as I just saw - that's even nicer. ;) Sorry for my unclear request - I meant the last one, having Kamelopedia enlisted on uncyclopedia.info (and other Uncyclomedia sites). --Kronf(talk) 16:06, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

FOR - There are a little speakers, but if there is a Wikipedia in that language, why not? CartoonistHenning 23:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Mirandese is one of the Asturian dialect, spoken by 15,000 people in Miranda do Douro and in villages nearby regions. It has status of official language in these region of Portugal. Unfortunately I do not have in my Google translator option for that language, but get a dictionary and a grammar copied from a website. Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 00:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

FOR - I help Rhubella at the Desgalipedia, and i bet that this project will be the same good at the hands of Rhubella. KING.M.D./Discussão 16:54, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

I have good news, I got a translator Portuguese - Mirandese the market price. You can now do translations and improve Çciclopédia.

I'm not sure about the domain name. Occidentapedia would be nice for a non-humour website. I prefer NE-interlingue.org => ninterlingue.org, like every parody. Just a hint | CartoonistHenning 14:42, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I propose a new proposal for domain name and project name: Ninciclopedia for project name and ninciclopedia.org for domain name. Cartoonist, does you think ? vu'wI’RENAN337contributions 17:14, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Okay, approved! Now waiting for one more vote :) CartoonistHenning 20:01, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

The two proposed interlinks are not accepted. So I chose the extension vls: (West Flemish), after tirelessly search. For now, keep neutral until another sysop manifests his opinion. Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 22:16, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

On hold: will be transported to namespace on Oncyclopedia (nl), after approval of the requestor. The vls: interwiki can be used for all Flemish languages, but in Wikipedia the guys on Flanders's westside claimed it to their specific dialect. For the interwiki there is no objection | CartoonistHenning 18:31, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

No. Fy is for Frysk, it's a kind of Dutch, not Flemish. vls is still the best interwiki | CartoonistHenning 02:49, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

So it is fy: for Frisian and vls: for Flemish, so I made ​​a terrible mess because they confuse the two languages​​. So, then keep the new proposal worth much to a Frysk uncy, as a Flemish uncy. Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 14:57, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I remember I created that namespace for the requestor, who didn't show up anymore after. I think the name "Unsyklopedy" was my idea, because there was no name given to the project | CartoonistHenning(talk) 18:55, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Link to request on a mailing list:Here. If you can't understand the mixture of artificial languages, it says we should make Uncyclopedias in more artificial languages (besides Esperanto, which already has one). First we commented on making an Uncyclopedia in all artificial languages, but later agreed on making one at a time.

Comentary: I notice too late that you made the request at Wikia, a month before coming here. I wonder how we can meet this request? In addition, you discussed this subject in the forum noticed how in Inciclopedia. I wonder if you still want to edit it or the domain .orgArkBlitz. Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 19:36, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

It's a good idea creat an Uncyclopedia in Ido language. If she exist, don't permit the exit its from Uncyclomedia and she goes to Wikia.

The Wikia is propertier of domain name neciklopedio.org. I propose a new proposal for domain name: io.neciklopedio.info. vu'wI’RENAN337contributions 23:00, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

*.neciklopedio.org appears to be a redirect to uncyclopedia.info, therefore neither it nor its subdomains are part of wikia --Carlb(talk) 05:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

CarlB, the user made ​​the request earlier in Wikia to neciklopedio.org and Cartoonist had redirected this link to our info. However, this request was made for that language and currently has 2 votes approving the project. Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 00:20, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

It looks like "neciklopedio.wikia.com" is an active Esperanto-language eo: wiki registered to Wikia; "io.neciklopedio.wikia.com" is an abandoned wiki. The "neciklopedio.org" domain is available for use (ie: it does *not* belong to Wikia) as are any of its subdomains (such as io.neciklopedio.org) if there is still interest in (and content for) io:. That would leave the question of whether "neciklopedio.org" should have the main domain pointing at eo:, io: or eieio if io.neciklopedio.org is created as a subdomain. What should be done with this one - is this request currently 'live' or 'dead'? --Carlb(talk) 22:45, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I sent an e-mail to the requestor. I told him he should give his approval here when he wants to have it launched. There is no content yet for this language. io is the most relevant ISO-code for this request, so I won't consider eo if I were you. However, you can make a single page for this domain (see image) and point the subdomain io.neciklopedio.org to io:

neciklopedio.org seems fine as long as it is sponsored by Uncyclomedia (i.e. free to use). If not, it can as well be a redirect to io.neciklopedio.wikia.org so the site is not lost in case of lack of payment for the DNS. Currently I'm seeking for more possible writers for the site. -ArkBlitz(talk) 19:18, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Is there any content on the abandoned Wikia project which needs to be imported once io: is created, or is this a blank wiki? --Carlb(talk) 19:43, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Not that I should intervene in this matter but there should be a redirect of the same Ido Uncyclopedia to Esperanto language? Another thing is that this wiki at Wikia is even abandoned it shall be redirected to a domain .org. And finally, if it is to pay something to solve it accepted the payment in Swiss cheeses. :D Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 23:42, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

External links to organizations that promote the language: fo.wikipedia

Link to request on a mailing list:

Score: +2

+1 I have been thinking of the domain name fo.ikkepedia.org, but I found it to be confusing with the Norwegian project (to avoid the Ido domain prob). 'Ikke' in Faroese means the same like in nb-no "Not" | CartoonistHenning(talk) 02:29, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Comment How is the Ido domain a problem? The comments on this would appear to have just been a mistake, posted in the belief that eo: being Wikia somehow made the eo.neciklopedio.org redirect and its underlying base domain also part of Wikia. They're not... they're just redirects. Try 'whois' to determine who owns a domain.

Admittedly, one common base domain with a different subdomain per-language has long been the standard in Wikipedia (*.wikipedia.org) and various others (including Illogicopedia) even if the most languages in one project name for Uncyclopedia is (so far) Neciklopedija with four. The primary reason why Uncyclopedia has done this differently is that someone sold the main uncyclopedia.org domain out from under us a few years back before abandoning the project. That, and for large projects (such as pt.uncyclopedia.info) it's usually a good idea to register any domains or aliases before the spammers and cybersquatters get there first (desciclopedia.org cost over a thousand bucks to liberate via trademark and arbitration in 2008). --Carlb(talk) 04:29, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I know they are redirects and they belong to UnMeta, but it is not that I wanted to say. The "problem" which I wanted to describe is the language's "right" to have an independent project name for practical reasons. I'm thinking of people who are googling/searching to the project. Imagine: fo.ikkepedia is created. I suppose - in this case - the project name would also be Ikkepedia, otherwise: why choosing for a subdomain on ikkepedia.org? The fo.ikkepedia readers are googling "Ikkepedia" (because that's fo's name), but they get a bunch of results of no: (because that's also the name for no.). If each project would have a different project name, which is the case for almost all uncycs now, they would be seperately easier to find. Wikipedia has a guarantee for being always on the top in Google results, so people don't have to "find" the project first. Wikipedia readers don't care about the domain name/project name. Neither would I, if the Uncyclopedia concept were as famous as WP | CartoonistHenning(talk) 11:52, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Neutral. Unfortunately I will have to remain neutral until Cartoonist has ruled. Once we noticed a certain rejection in uncy in West Flemish as it would be very close to the Frisian. Rhubella Marie,the rat sockpreppie2 719preppiedits 01:08, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Against. Cartoonist has nothing to rule: why are we voting then? Anyway, i am not a supporter of a Limburgish Uncyc because it is no language: it's a dialect. Idem for Zeelandic. Also: it has a high risk of inactivity (if only you know about it and nobody wants to write... they can read perfectly Dutch, can't they?) and we Dutchies don't want another Frisia. Roye7777777 ~ Talk 19:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Dear Roye, Zeelandic isn't an dialect but an "streektaal" as we call it in Dutch. I think i can motivate enough people to come on the Zeelandic uncyclopedia to run it. Burgerhallojan(N) (talk) 19:10, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Conditionally FOR: I give my approval for a place for this language (which is doubtlessly a Dutch dialect) under the condition that we can enroll the project in a namespace on UnMeta (here). When the project grows bigger, we can reconsider a new wiki | Cartoonist | Spit it out (talk) | E-mail | | 21:02, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Comment. The Dutch dialect/language uncycs named by Renan, as well as the Afrikaans version which I would consider quite close to Dutch, are all totally dead. For if you can find at least one other native or fluent speaker who will work on it with you, but otherwise maybe we should concentrate on getting the existing wikis off the ground instead of creating yet another one. A wiki with only one user is a dead wiki to me. Llwy-ar-lawr (talk) 15:28, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Comment. In my point-of-view, a wiki that is built by one user only isn't a dead wiki, but a pseudowiki, like Renard or Mgs spoke some time. Take as an example the Desgalipedia and Renard. vu'wI’RENAN337contributions 19:40, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

FOR, I want to contribute to the zeelandic uncyclopedia too, i think it is an good idea. Zeelandlover(talk) 09:23, 29 November 2013 (UTC) (N)

I crossed out your vote, because you don't have enough edits. No worries, the project is approved ;-) Cartoonist | Spit it out (talk) | E-mail | | 10:04, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Comment I found out recently that Burgerhallojan was blocked indefinitely on the Dutch uncyc after being warned and blocked multiple times over various stuff. Google translate is pretty bad with Dutch but from what I could see the main issues were that he was adding unfunny stuff to articles and being bitey to new users, including using warning templates that only admins are supposed to use. That may seem irrelevant to this, but I'm afraid of what it might mean for someone who ended up indeffed on an established community to try to start another one. Are the issues he had on Oncyclopedia not going to be issues on a new wiki, or are they? I don't mean to assume bad faith in anyone, but I think we should consider this. Llwy-ar-lawr (talk) 07:39, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Llwy, I give my example as an answer, since I was blocked indefinitely both as Inciclopédia and Desciclopédia. This kind of thing depends on the character of the user. I really believe Cartoonist has given a second chance to the user. However, we must keep careful that the other users or the administration of the site itself does not occur abuse.

Local message list: See User:W. Chan/CantoneseUnyc, according to alphabetical order Use the one that Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia is using as most of the people speak Cantonese know traditional Chinese.

Relevant infos:

Link to article(s) on the language in an existing Uncyclopedia:Babel:yue/維基百科

Native name: 粵語(formal), 廣東話, 白話, 廣府話(informal) (prefer粵語)

Approximate number of speakers: 60million

Locations spoken: Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chinatowns in foreign cities in the Western world

Reason: Although there is already a namespace in uncyclopedia.hk which saves all the articles, the number of articles almost didn't increase at all, (Only 3-4 articles, which is a quite small number)probably because of the namespace is not wellknown
Therefore, I wanna start an Cantonese uncyclopedia to let the Cantonese speakers to know more about uncyclopedia by opening a new one.
Furthermore, Hong Kong now share an uncyclopedia with Taiwan, and the users from hong Kong is increasing. If we continue to share one uncyclopedia, argues may flow.
※According my last visit to the site, sb has moved almost all the articles under h: and changed it to standard Chinese.

And one more thing, I've checked the list for language codes in uncyclopedia. yue is used for uncyclopedia.hk already so it has to be changed to yue.uncyclopedia.info .W. Chan(talk) 08:03, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

I think it is good to make a Cantonese one as more Hong Kong people start to know Uncyclopedia.--East · leave a message | 08:55, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Currently nonciclopedia.org redirects to our italian Wikia uncyc but Carlb told me "the nonciclopedia.org domain is available to be pointed elsewhere". I have no idea how this thing is supposed to work, so let's put it simple: we have no server nor proprietary domain, so we need whatever it takes to import our old wiki (14K articles) into a regular Mediawiki installation, now that Wikia went 100% downwhill.--Wedhro(talk) 13:35, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
